"You're so strong, I've realized I can't live without you."

"Are you going up north? Can I come with you?"

"Although my strength is average, I'm still somewhat useful and can help you, especially at night..."

After the fierce battle ended, Saine used Clean Spell to clean his body, which was covered in sweat and perfume, and leaned against the headboard to enter a state of tranquility.

He felt very comfortable in this state.

The only downside was that ever since the woman next to him regained consciousness, she had been chattering incessantly in Saine's ear.

The woman's Mary, and she was an intermediate-level female apprentice.

After removing half of her face mask, Mary's appearance was fairly decent.

And perhaps because she takes good care of herself and uses some cosmetics, Mary looks much younger than her actual age.

However, in terms of looks, both Lina, Saine's girlfriend, and Fei'er, her senior, are far superior to her.

This female apprentice named Mary was merely a passerby in Saine's life.

It was a substitute for the release of his Desire after years of suppression.

To put it bluntly, if Saine hadn't endured so much and his body Bu Ting, he might not have even been interested in this woman.

Taking Mary north is absolutely out of the question.

Saine had no interest in taking on a burden; his encounter with Mary could be considered a transaction. →

Seeing that Saine remained silent, a look of frustration appeared on Mary's face.

"This is your reward." Saine took out a Intermediate Energy Crystal from the clothes by the bed and handed it to Mary.

For Mary, the Intermediate Energy Crystal was a rare treasure.

Because the surrounding area was relatively barren, Mary's entire fortune amounted to only two or three Intermediate Energy Crystal.

Therefore, after receiving the Energy Crystal from Saine, Mary's initially depressed and disappointed expression quickly turned into joy.

This was indeed a generous and mysterious Advanced Apprentice. Mary couldn't help but kiss Saine again, leaving a red mark on Saine cheek.

Although, in terms of the process, the deal between Saine and Mary has been completed.

But in the end, Saine couldn't help but remind him, "Um... remember to tidy up now."

Saine was naturally referring to that pool of white.

do

Having dissected countless specimens as Black Wizard Apprentice, Saine was naturally extremely familiar with human anatomy.

Back when they were at the Black Wizard Academy, Lina and Fei'er had both taken care to clean up and finish things up in this area.

After all, that kind of environment is really not suitable for the birth of New Life.

Saine had no interest in having any Life Crystal with this one-night stand female apprentice, but since he had almost slept with her, he had to remind her.

Mary smiled at Saine's reminder.

"Don't worry, pregnancy can accelerate aging, and I don't want to have any illegitimate children."

"More importantly, you don't seem like a responsible person either," Mary said, poking Saine's chest with her finger.

Mary, this intermediate female apprentice, may only be considered average in appearance, but she has a very positive attitude and is quite cheerful.

Aside from initially finding her rather noisy, after several conversations, Saine developed a Saine liking for the woman.

After tilting his head back and drinking a Nutrient Potion, feeling his strength return somewhat, Saine couldn't help but reach out and touch Mary's buttocks again.

Saine's actions made Mary tremble.

He's young after all; he's physically fit and has the right assets.

But Mary couldn't take it anymore. Her face froze, and she asked, "Again?!"

"Ahem, I don't know if we'll ever meet again after this departure, so let's just consider it as leaving a memory," Saine said.

In fact, Saine's body was also nearing its limit.

But sometimes Desire come so quickly. If it were Lina, she would definitely stop him and remind Saine to take care of his health.

But now that Saine is alone, after a long period of suppression, he has become somewhat unrestrained.

"Just consider it a little indulgence," Saine comforted himself.

Two hours is nothing. Back when it was his first time with his senior sister Fei'er, he almost drained Saine dry.

Mary probably knew this should be the last time for Saine. Although her body was extremely tired and numb, she still managed to ask the question that concerned her the most while enduring the whipping.

"You're from the South, aren't you?" Mary asked.

The Underground World City of Mozhsuobula, where Saine is located, is indeed south of City of Peterte, geographically speaking.

So, while thrusting his body forward, Saine replied, "Mmm."

Saine's answer made Mary's eyes flash.

It flashed with a strange light.

She, an Intermediate Apprentice, had long yearned for the prosperity and beauty of the South.

On his last night away from City of Peterte, the City Lord Baron, Baron, hosted a lavish farewell banquet for Saine.

After much deliberation, Saine secretly gifted the fat city lord a Bright Ring in response to his enthusiasm.

As a reward for living here for so many days and enjoying everything within the city lord's mansion.

This is a Black Iron Ring, which is quite ugly and looks very dark. It is completely out of place with the jewelry worn on the city lord's ten fingers.

However, this is an extremely precious Low-Level Magic Item, which Saine casually made during his journey after leaving the underground.

In response to Saine's gift, the fat baron gave him a big hug and also a box of Gold Coin, containing a total of two thousand coins.

The baron originally wanted to give Saine a carriage and two servants as a gift, but Saine politely declined.

He was more accustomed to traveling alone, and the road to the north was rugged.

Aside from the main roads around cities, in places a little further away, horse-drawn carriages are not as convenient as human labor.

"Hehehe, young people are so healthy! Mary still hasn't woken up?" During the dinner, old man Frank, holding a glass of red wine, leaned close to Saine and laughed.

Saine looked slightly embarrassed and replied, "Yes, she's still asleep there. She said she won't be participating in the dinner."

Frank smacked his lips, wanting to continue teasing, but then shook his head and got down to business. "I spent a day and a night making the Peripheral Creature Illustrated Handbook you asked me to create, and it's mostly done."

"Time was a bit tight, so it's a bit rough around the edges, please don't mind."

"But the content should be about the same," said old man Frank, gesturing to a maid who brought him a thick-covered book.

"It's alright." Ignoring the fact that the banquet was still in progress, Saine put down the red wine in his hand and immediately took the thick book from the maid and started reading.

This book was probably not entirely handmade by Frank; it contains some illustrations that were clearly torn from other books.

However, Saine didn't mind; as long as it worked, it was fine.

Each illustration is accompanied by a corresponding annotation, some of which were written by Frank himself.

"This is your reward." After placing a Intermediate Energy Crystal in Frank's hand, Saine continued flipping through the book.
